First time here and from start to go finish the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming.
We received a small welcoming drink & chicken Bon Bon, tiny but delicious. I ordered a frozen strawberry daiquiri and it was delicious. Chicken croquets to start, chicken curry then white chocolate cheesecake, not sure where I found the space for it but it was out of this world.
It was hard to believe we were in Johnstone & not somewhere on holiday. We will definitely be back

We had dinner at Da Buddha tonight, and the entire experience was outstanding. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a complimentary welcome drink that was both sweet and bitter—absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly attentive, taking our drink order quickly and then bringing out some complimentary nibbles. The food was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The staff also demonstrated great knowledge of the dishes and were very accommodating with my allergy requirements. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

The service was quick, effecient and friendly, and the food tasted delicious and had excellent presentation. My wife and I have also been in just the two of us on Sundays for the Thali. Whether it's the Sunday Thali plates or just dinner, the food and drinks are brilliant. 5 stars every time. Thoroughly recommended!

Nepali cuisine is my new favourite. I loved the food. It was so tasty and presented beautifully. The service was first class and came with a smile. The decoration was lovely. I liked the art, ornaments, the prayer wheels, the flags, and the hanging plants, which made it all feel very authentic. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's well worth a visit, and I'll be back soon. There was so much on the menu I still wanted to try.

Lovely wee Nepalese restaurant in Johnstone of all places. For me the perfect level of service, not too chatty but super polite and friendly. They came with a small non alcoholic ‘cleansing’ shot and couple little fried chicken balls before we even ordered food.

The food was beautifully presented with edible flowers and lovely fresh flavours. It clearly was created by a talented chef.

Their cocktails are some of the best I’ve tasted. In house created syrups and infusions created by a real mixologist 👌🏼 we sampled quite a few!

If I had to pick a (very small) negative the nan bread although nice seemed bought in

Definitely going back, would highly recommend 👍🏼

We had a great lunch here. I had a very hearty chicken noodle soup and chicken Kathmandu curry, which had a reasonable kick to it despite being one of the milder options. My wife had a seaweed salad and chilli chicken noodles. Generous portions for a lunchtime menu and the staff were attentive and friendly without ever being invasive like some other places. Lunch prices were very reasonable. The only improvement I would suggest would be fresh-made naans rather than pre-prepared ones.

Wow! Stunning setting, stunning food and stunning service and not forgetting the cocktails. Our first visit to this beautiful Nepalese restaurant and it certainly won’t be our last. We chose the authentic Nepalese dishes which I can only describe as a taste sensation, they were all delicious. Thank you for an excellent Friday evening.

I have been desperate to try this new eaterie since it opened in November 2023.

A friend visited in March on my recommendation (I sent her to test it out on my behalf). She raved about it. I now know why.

Stunning decor. No expense spared. This is a very classy restaurant indeed.

From entry till exit, the staff were so friendly and incredibly attentive. Half way through our meal, no sooner had I coughed than the waiter appeared at my side with a glass of iced water!

The food itself was a delight and incredible value.

A three course lunch served from 12-4pm for only £16.95.

As we sat down, we were served a glass of complimentary home made lemonade which was beautifully refreshing.

I started with a traditional Nepalese street food called Sha Phaley, which is minced chicken in pastry. My wife elected to tried the traditional non-Nepalese Halloumi Fries. Both plates cleared.

For main course, we both went for the delicious Himalayan Lamb which was served with rice, naan and poppadom. It was amazing.

I washed my meal down with a traditional Nepalese lassi. So authentic and tasty.

My dessert was a refreshing trio of sorbet... Mango, lemon and passion fruit. Oh yum.

My wife loved her white chocolate and Bailey's cheesecake with ice cream (she asked for the ice cream instead of the advertised mango sorbet and in keeping with the class of the restaurant, nothing was too much trouble).

After the meal I had a long chat with owner Rabi, who along with his team were just so welcoming.

I definitely would recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning sometime soon.

If you are in the area, it is well worth a visit. If not in the area, it is equally worth the trip.

I mentioned the stunning, classy decor. I also loved the sign on the wall as you enter about your favourite place being where your friends are.

So very true. ♥️♥️♥️

Oh... Rabi.... Can I make one wee suggestion? NOT a complaint. Just a suggestion. The music was lovely for sure... John Lennon. Bill Withers. All the greats.

However... much as I know that will probably appeal to the masses... the decor and food transported me to a place far far away. Some authentic Nepalese or Indian music would have kept me there in that faraway place that bit longer. Just a thought. 😎😜

If I could have awarded 6 stars I would have. 5 doesn't seem enough.

A hidden gem on Collier Street in Johnstone. Outstanding Nepalese cuisine served in a stunning restaurant by brilliant staff. Burgers and fish and chips are also on the menu. I chose the authentic dishes, all of which were delicious. Highly recommended.

Excellent first meal at De Buddha. Highly recommend the Kathmandu curry. Gluten free option available which makes a nice change. Very reasonably priced with friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Second time we've been here and it was fantastic yet again, Katsu Curry was absolutely amazing, prawn fritters and hot wings were delicious. 👌👌👌

Just had a good meal in this local restaurant. It was a little quiet as we were early, but was much busier as we left.
Kept to the Nepalese dishes which were really tasty and filling.
Give this place a try.....

I recently dined at De Buddha Restaurant and Bar, and the experience was truly exceptional. I decided to start with the steamed chicken momo, and it was a delightful introduction to the meal. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was impressive.
